Chapter 482 How to Choose Among Several Paths
If it were normal, Shi Xuan would be able to return in time for the final touches after he reacted.
But Xu Zhenjun has fallen, and he cannot, like Granny Yu, refine the gate of time and space in the world into something that looks like a magic weapon, but not a magic weapon, or something that looks like magic but not magic to bless others, so Shi Xuan can no longer borrow his power. , at such a long distance, triggering the Gate of the Thousand Worlds to return directly to Yu Yutian, can only go through the teleportation array to the Tongtian World.
"Go back? Or not go back?" Shi Xuan's thoughts were rolling in his mind, and it was difficult to make a choice. There were several paths before him.
One is to bury the hatred deeply, sit back and watch, and follow Cui Wenzi and others to explore the cave that will be opened thirty years later. After getting the secret treasure of the immortal, go back to take revenge. The second is to still retreat in the world of cave spirit to practice the immortal skills. , and then continue to travel, slowly accumulate, wait until the tribulation is successfully overcome, advance to the level of heavenly being, dialect revenge, the third is to take advantage of the fact that Blood Shadow True Lord has not regained his strength, risking a narrow escape, and return to save people.
If Shi Xuan is completely unsure and has no hope of rescuing the Penglai sect from True Lord Blood Shadow, no matter how sad and hateful he is, he will still make his Taoist heart calm and abnormal, and put his usefulness first, no matter how sad or resentful he is. Do something you know will lead to death, choose the first two paths.
But Shi Xuan knew very clearly that he had a method that could truly threaten True Lord Blood Shadow. If he hit him, he could be seriously injured, and there was even a small chance that he would die directly.
All this is based on the premise of hitting. Originally, with Shi Xuan's realm, he could not hide from the whims and deductions of True Lord Blood Shadow. I am afraid that he was still tens of thousands of miles away and was easily killed before the method was used. , the success may be almost impossible, but now that Meng Nishang has survived the catastrophe, if she helps cover up the secret and protect him, Shi Xuan has a high chance of getting close to the Blood Shadow True Monarch.
However, under the pressure of Blood Shadow True Monarch's avenue and the crazy attack after reacting, whether Shi Xuan can successfully use this method, and whether he can break through the numerous obstacles and hit True Monarch Blood Shadow after using it, Shi Xuan will not even have half a chance. Not sure.
Even with Meng Nichang at his side trying his best to contain True Lord Blood Shadow, the possibility of success on this path is still very low, only higher than the sword that Shi Xuan used when he achieved Yuan Shen. That's why Shi Xuan hesitated and couldn't. choice.
And once this method is used, even if it succeeds, the consequences will be huge. If you are not careful, you will die. Although Shi Xuan has prepared a backup plan, it will not be resolved by his own strength.
"Go back? Or not go back?" Shi Xuan continued to murmur to himself, asking himself, on one side is a very safe revenge strategy, on the other side is an extremely difficult and dangerous way to save people; on the other side, there are many secret treasures of immortals and secret methods for overcoming tribulations, which are great. Temptation, while hope is slim, not only will you not get the treasure, but it will also cost you the secret treasures and magic weapons you own, and it may even include your life, which is a great danger...
While his mind was shaking, Shi Xuan seemed to see in front of his eyes Xu Zhenjun, who fought desperately to protect the sect and became a member of the Penglai sect. He saw his master Mo Yuan, who had always been good at teaching and talked little, but cared for him extraordinarily. He rarely fulfills his responsibilities as a master, but he respects and loves his disciple Chu Wan'er. He sees Lin Luo, who gets along well with him and has a long-lasting friendship with his disciples. He sees Zhang Zhengyan, who loves and cares for his younger disciples...
There were many phantoms, and they almost turned into clear human figures and appeared in Shi Xuan Yuanshen. The atmosphere of sadness and resentment filled the air, and it seemed that it was igniting...
After a while, Shi Xuan took a long breath, calmed down his inner demon, and got rid of the illusion: "Could it be that one of the three disasters and three catastrophes mentioned by Granny Yu should be here? And the name has changed. Doing 'original calamity'?" A relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had made a final decision.
Shi Xuan stood up and walked out of the cave with his hands behind his back. He thought leisurely in his heart: "If I run away in fear of difficulties and ignore my true intention, even if I have integrated all the true spirits and prepared many secret treasures and means, I will face the third time." The Heavenly Tribulation is probably extremely dangerous. Since there is a glimmer of possibility, then try your best to pursue it. This is actually the original intention of Dao."
As soon as he opened the ban on the cave, Shi Xuan saw three sanctimonious middle-aged monks, none other than Cui Wenzi and the other three Yangshen masters.
Seeing this, Cui Wenzi smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist He Laoshi personally greeted me, it's really a courtesy." Although the cave can only be entered in thirty years, many things need to be discussed and prepared in advance, so they came together today.
Shi Xuan cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry. Shi has something important to do and has to leave the Dongling World. I don't know if he can come back in time. I'd like to ask a few fellow Taoists to hire someone else."
Cui Wenzi and others were very disappointed when they heard this, and gave some more advice. Seeing Shi Xuan's firm attitude, they knew that his determination had been made and could not be changed. Fortunately, there were still thirty years left, and there was plenty of time to invite another real person, or exchange it. Secret treasures, magic, etc.
After watching Cui Wenzi and others leave, Shi Xuan used his escape technique and headed towards the nearby Daqian Teleportation Formation.
Now that he had made up his mind, Shi Xuan began to think about countermeasures and various consequences along the way.
"It has been nearly 800 years since I became a Yuan Shen. Although there are not many people in the void universe who have survived two heavenly tribulations within 800 years, they are not few, such as some sword masters. So after I go back, I will not It triggered too many speculations and associations. "Meng Nishang survived two catastrophes in more than nine hundred years.
"There may be a dark hand behind True Lord Blood Shadow, so the Yin Yang Mixed Hole Divine Light must not be used. Fortunately, that method is external force, so there is no fear of being discovered." Although Shi Xuan did not figure it out, it is impossible for True Lord Blood Shadow to kill Penglai Sect when Granny Yu was just reincarnated, so he must not be careless.
"The two Taiyin Ice Crystal Fruits on him can heal injuries, especially for Senior Meng, they should be more effective." When True Lord Yu Ping came to return the Yin Yang Stone, Mr. Chixu and Madam Sufa also came and presented two Taiyin Ice Crystal Fruits to show their gratitude to Shi Xuan for saving his life.
In the flash of the escape light, Shi Xuan came to the outside of the Great Thousand Teleportation Array.
…………
In the Penglai Sect, the pure air transformed by Gui Yuanzi fell to the ground, and five True Lords appeared.
Looking at the Nine Heavens Seal Ten Thousand Thunder Immortal Array that had transformed into a purple lightning layer and an ancient thunderstorm sky, except for Mo Yuan who still had an indifferent expression, the other four smiled bitterly. They had spent so much effort and used the fourth-level secret treasure, but they were still forced back.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I wonder how many times your sect's Nine Heavens Seal Ten Thousand Thunder Immortal Array can be overdrawn?" The white-haired Gui Yuanzi asked Lin Luo.
Lin Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The Nine Heavens Thunder Immortal Seal will dissipate after being fully activated three times. It has been used up twice just now."
"Haha, it seems that there will be no way out next time there is an opportunity." Gui Yuanzi showed no fear or frustration.
Zhang Zhengyan saluted and said: "Thank you, Senior Gui Yuanzi, for coming to help our sect. We are really grateful, but I am really sorry that you put the senior in danger." When he was the head of the sect, he had met Gui Yuanzi several times and always addressed him as a senior, so after achieving the Outer Dao Yuanshen, he did not change his words.
Lin Luo, Mo Yuan, and Chu Wan'er also thanked Gui Yuanzi.
Gui Yuanzi waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. I was ready to leave. I saw that Senior Meng had survived the fourth heavenly tribulation and had the power to fight against the Blood Shadow Master, so I decided to rescue him. As long as the Blood Shadow Master was entangled by Senior Meng, the chances of winning between me and the Blood River Patriarch were 30-70. With the help of your Penglai Sect's secret treasures and formations, he had a great chance of escaping. Who knew that the Blood Shadow Master was so terrifying even when he was seriously injured!" As long as he had not survived the third heavenly tribulation, the gap between the two-tribulation Yangshen Masters would only get smaller and smaller as the years went by.
He sighed softly, but he did not blame the Penglai Sect.
Thinking of the strength of the Blood Shadow Master, the five masters were silent.
"There are still ten years, and there will always be variables. We can't give up on ourselves and must be prepared at any time." In silence, Mo Yuan said lightly.
Gui Yuanzi, Lin Luo and others nodded. They were able to advance to the Yuanshen stage, so their character was naturally excellent. Even if they were faced with a situation where there was no chance of survival, they would not give up. Instead, they would face the challenge head-on, try their best, and vow to find a way out.
…………
Outside the Penglai Sect, in the rolling sea of blood, True Lord Blood Shadow sat on a blood-colored lotus, with the Blood River Patriarch and "Blood-eating Madman" Deng Guang standing beside him. Only "Luo Hou Xueyan" who had just achieved the Yuanshen stage was left to guard the sect.
The blood light on True Lord Blood Shadow shook for a while, and dozens of identical middle-aged feathered men were separated and fled in all directions.
"Ancestor, what are you doing?" The Blood River Patriarch asked in a low voice.
True Lord Blood Shadow smiled faintly and said, "Of course, they are going to plunder the essence of flesh and blood to replenish themselves. Although other major sects must have received the warning from Meng Nishang and have fled to another world to avoid disaster, there are still small and medium-sized sects and many independent cultivators. Their cultivation is generally not high, but their number is sufficient. They should be able to recover from my injuries three to five years earlier."
Their attack on Penglai Sect, their fight with True Lord Xu, and their fight with Meng Nishang were fierce and terrifying, but only the True Lords within hundreds of thousands of miles of the Sandao Sea could feel it. The Nanman and Xihuang places could not find them at all. After all, they were not figures that shocked the world. However, several major sects had people who were always inquiring about news nearby. With the warning from Meng Nishang, they were able to escape in time.
The Blood River Patriarch opened his mouth to speak, but stopped abruptly, with a dark and unclear look in his eyes.
…
In Tide House, the monks coming and going had not yet fully recovered from the shock of the evil, bloody, and terrifying aura coming from the direction of Penglai Island, when they saw a middle-aged feathered monk appear in the sky, and then turned into countless blood shadows and pounced down.
Fire, lightning, ice, snow, flying swords, etc. hit the blood shadows, but they had no effect, and they could only watch the blood shadows pounce on themselves.
Before his eyes, it was red, as if he sank into a sea of blood, and then fell into darkness. A human skin floated to the ground, and a little bit of true spirit flew straight into the sky.
In an instant, even without screaming, Tide House fell into deathly silence, with strange and terrifying human skins all over the ground.
This scene also happened on other islands, in overseas countries, in the four cities of the Arctic, in the hundreds of southern barbarians, and in the land of the Western Wilderness...
